CHAIRMAN'S CHALLENGE 2007/2008

Every successful business has a team of highly motivated and energetic people focusing together on a shared goal, its called Team Spirit.

Action Indoor Sports has been providing first class facilities for corporate entertainment, personal recognition, and a social outlet for members of the community for the last 22 years.

You don’t need to be good at any particular sport, or even be very sporty to take part, as all games are graded. This is an opportunity for Men to play the Ladies, or to participate in a mixed team.
If you really don’t want to take part in any of the games, spectators are most welcome to use these events as an opportunity to network, socialise and enjoy watching the games from our 80metre long, up-market mezzanine bar and café overlooking the sport.

We will provide everything you need, coaches, umpires, equipment and exciting choice of games suited to both men and women, the fit and unfit.
